OK, I have a few new questions I would like to throw out there.
Do you applique? Yes
Are you interested in patterns or books? Have tons of single patterns. Love the funny crow ones you see once in awhile. Now exactly sure what they are called but that would be a welcomed pattern. The only applique books I own is "Affairs of the Heart." Am open to any other book, especially one with a variety of designs.
Do you own/use an applique pressing sheet? Yes
What is your favorite applique thread? Don't have a favorite. Usually pick up what I can from Joanns that matches what I am working on. Every Row-by-Row year I add to my collections of threads costing me at least $40 if not more.
Do you like specialty rulers? Yes
Is there any specialty specialty ruler you are looking for? No
Any specialty ruler you do not need? Twister, already have them all. Have all the Clover yo-yo and flowers. Not sure what it is called but it is a ruler that allows you to make 6 different table runners using 2 1/2" squares. I love this ruler and make the runners all the time. Have the Mini Hexi set. Double Diamond ruler. All the easy angles and 60 degree rulers.
Do you have a specific rotary cutter you would like to have? No
Rotary cutter blades and size? Yes, 45mm. Can never have enough blades
Small cutting mat/ironing board combo? No, already have two.

This will be my first actual quilt block and first mini quilt, so crossing my fingers it goes well (I've only pieced a panel to some border fabric, and quilted a baby quilt). My recipient is going to be my guinea pig. Excited to finally dive in and try something new-to-me!

Do you applique? Not yet, but I want to learn (hope to have at least 50 years of quilting ahead of me!)
Are you interested in patterns or books? Yes to both. I'm still a beginner, so somewhat easy/simple is best for now.
Do you own/use an applique pressing sheet? Do not own, if I received one, I would try using it.
What is your favorite applique thread? No favorite, so if you have one, feel free to share!
Do you like specialty rulers? Have not used one since I'm still at the basics. Would find a way to use one if I received one.
Is there any specialty specialty ruler you are looking for? No
Any specialty ruler you do not need? I need them all! Haha... well, so far they've been fun to look at, but I don't have any.
Do you have a specific rotary cutter you would like to have? No.
Rotary cutter blades and size? Yes, 45mm. I have one cutter that is ready for a new blade and haven't bought any yet.
Small cutting mat/ironing board combo? I would use since I "travel" with my stuff. I own a small cutting mat, but don't have a combo.

Thanks to everyone who replied about my fear of the color yellow it was very much appreciated your kind thoughts let me know that there are so many kind people in the world.
As for my ex mother in law my mom gave me some advice that I lived by " kill her with kindness". So I did. I never let her know how much she hurt me and I did every kind thing I could do for her. I can live with myself because I never did a mean thing to her.
I can't wait for my secret Santa box to get here and I'm having such a great time shopping for mine. This is the time of the year.
